MVC :: How To Keep A Hidden Field Populated On Validation
Jan 31, 2011
I have a form in MVC3 that includes a check box to copy data if it is the same as a previous form. If the checkbox is checked, it populates the text box with the content from the hidden field. Here's a sample to illustrate what I'm doing:
[Code]....
When the box is checked, it calls FillInfo(), which uses DHTML to fill the TextBox called "ThisInfo" with the value of the hidden field "DefaultInfo."
Here's the problem: if the form fails validation (e.g. "ThisInfo" is a required field and is left blank), the hidden "DefaultInfo" box is getting cleared out -- which I DON'T want it to do. As a result, when the checkbox is clicked, it is copying empty data into the "ThisInfo" field.
I have a custom user control which contains a asp hiddenfield object. The value of this hidden field is being set using javascript and I have verified that the value is being set properly. When a postback occurs the new value is not being saved and I cannot access it in my code.
I believe the problem is because the user control is not saved in viewstate and therefore the hidden field value is not saved accross postback. How can I make the hidden field save its value? I tried accessing it from the early page cycles and still no luck.
I'm writing a small web application in c# and i'm running into a small problem.
Basically, on page_load() my backend MySQL db is queried to bring back the user data, and that is then inserted into the textbox controls as below:
[Code]....
Now the problem occurs when the RequiredFieldValidator kicks in. In my form processing function, I call Page.IsValid(), it fails and displays the required message next to the required fields.
I was wondering if there is a workaround for this, or a better way to go about what i'm trying to do.
I'm populating a DropDownList using JS on the client and validating with a RequiredFieldValidator.This works fine on the client but the Page.IsValid consistently comes back false on the server.Is this because the selected value wasn't in the DropDownList when it was first served to the page?What's the easiest way around this? (I need to leave server validation turned on)
the thing is that I have a form with a textbox and a button and a hidden field, now what i want to do is to write something in the textbox ,pass it to the hidden field and then access that thing written in the hidden field in the controller . how can i do that?
how am I be able to assign a value to my hidden field control? I have this web service that returns member's ID and name (e.g. 0001-John dela Vega). In order for me to search for a member, I'm using an autocomplete extender, now, if in case that I found the member I'd like to assign its member id to a hidden field. I ask this because I'd like to change the way my web service return data so instead of displaying the member's id and name at the same, I'll just show its member name.
Now this is working fine but , lets say i have 10 textboxes, if i change the value one the first textbox to be the same as the second textbox , it means it is a duplicate, now the problem here is that the value of the hidden field does not get updated immidiately , you have to click twice to get the real value.
I have a hiddenfield, which I want to save the scroll position of asp.panel scrollbar during postback, and when during postback this value is called back to set the scroll position.
Using javascript I can grab the value from the scrollbar, and assign it to the hidden field, but when I post the page back the value has gone.
Here is my code snippet: <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> function SetScroll(val) { [code].....Am I missing something? How do I keep the value during post back?
you save data into a dynamic hidden field ,which is created dynamically during the handling of some postback event.what is the best way to retrieve it from this field upon a postback, (besides searching the request for the key of this hidden field and then retrieving the corresponding value as in the code below)?
protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { bool found = false; for (int i=0; i<this.Request.Form.Keys.Count; i++)
I inherited some JavaScript that I was told to integrate into our ASP.NET site. I thought this would be straightforward but it's turning out to be a bit of a challenge.
The goal is to get the value from this HTML control into ASP.NET, however this control itself is being dynamically generated by another chunk of javascript, so I can't just change this to an asp.net control. My solution was to add the onchange="updateQuestion();" method, this JS will take these SELECT tags and place the values into an ASP.NET control:
function updateSecQ() { var sQuestion = document.getElementById('<%=sQuestion.ClientID%>'); sQuestion.Value = ""; var questions = document.getElementsByName('Question'); for (question in questions) { if (questions[question].value != null) sQuestion.Value += questions[question].value + ","; } alert(sQuestion.Value); }
As you can see, that's looking to update an ASP.NET control:
There's more involved in the value of course, but HiddenField is an asp:HiddenField control with runat=server set. I have in my javascript:
var id = $("#<%= HiddenField.ClientID %>").val();
The code in the javascript is set to be run only after the postback has occured (a different client click event) for the purpose of passing the hidden field value via QueryString to another URL (since i can't do a response redirect on postbacks and the client wants it in a different page anyway).
i have some programming aspect how can i check whether hidden field is empty or not i mean i want to check that ListTwiHiddenField.items.cout==0 or empty how can i check this
I am trying to set the value of a hidden field onblur. I add the blur attribute programatically on page load. When the user moves off the control the blur event fires the following javascript.
function getFocus() { var obj=document.activeElement; alert(obj.id); [code]...
I have to hide the VIEWSTATE and EVENTVALIDATION hidden fields on my ASP.net page at RUN time.I managed to remove the EVENTVALIDATION like so.............
I'm trying to use jQuery to disable an ASP.Net button control and set the flag in a hidden input field. However, the value does not seem to be staying, for some reason. I am new to jQuery, so I'm having a hard time trouble-shooting this:
i am trying to set UniqueID for a hidden field control .its throwing me error The 'UniqueID' property is read-only and cannot be set. How to solve this issue ??my code
